Third AND circuit 274, which inputs, to be had the signal RESET exported from PWM comparator 17 and exports from timer circuit 272 Signal SKIP-OK and to 275 output signal RESET2 of single-shot trigger circuit.
When the signal RESET2 exported from third AND circuit 274 is changed to High, single-shot trigger circuit 275 is exported pre- The signal Ripple_ON of High is in fixing time.Signal Ripple_ON is input to voltage superposition switch 276 and filtering The non-inverting input terminal of the OR circuit 2715 of circuit 271.
Voltage superposition switch 276 is arranged between current source Iripple and the negative input terminal of error amplifier 14, and And its switch is controlled by signal Ripple_ON.
Allow in the period when the intermittent oscillation for being in High (signal RESET is changed to High) in signal SKIP-OK controls When high side MOSFET 8 is switched to off state from state by driving signal, third AND circuit 274, single-shot trigger circuit 275, voltage superposition is used as with switch 276 and is superimposed upon voltage signal on the input terminal of error amplifier 14 up to the predetermined time Voltage overlaying circuit.
The operation of the switching power unit illustrated in Fig. 1 is described below.
Figures 5 and 6 are the timing diagrams of the operation of the switching power unit illustrated in diagrammatic illustration 1.In figs. 5 and 6, " SW " is indicated The voltage signal of SW terminal." TM " in Fig. 5 indicates the voltage of the capacitor 2726 illustrated in Fig. 3." BIAS_OFF " in Fig. 5 Indicate the period that switch 25 and switch 26 disconnect." SET " in Fig. 6 indicates the setting terminal S from oscillator 1 to rest-set flip-flop 2 The signal of input.
Firstly, the operation under steady load state in the region of (Iout > Iskip_in) will be described.
Under steady load state, switch 273 is disconnected, and the attenuation characteristic of filter circuit 271 weakens, and is substantially equal to error The error signal COMP2 of amplified signal COMP1 is exported from filter circuit 271.Error signal COMP2 is input to PWM comparator 17 Reversed input terminal and light load detection comparator 23 reversed input terminal.
When threshold value Vsk_Lo is input to the non-inverting input terminal of light load detection comparator 23 and exports electric current Iout When sufficiently high, COMP2 > Vsk_Lo is set up, therefore is changed to Low from the signal SKIP1 that light load detection comparator 23 exports.Phase The signal SKIP2 of Ying Di, Low via the second AND circuit 273 be output to phase inverter 18, NOR circuit 19, NAND circuit 24 it is defeated Enter terminal.Correspondingly, intermittent oscillation is forbidden to operate.
Oscillator 1 is based on constant current Ibias2 generation setting pulse SET and defeated to the setting terminal S of set-reset flip-floop 2 Pulse SET is set out.Adjuster circuit 5 supplies driving voltage to low side driver 20 and high-side driver 4.
When set-reset flip-floop 2 is in setting state, be connected and via the first AND circuit 3 driving high-side driver 4 high Side MOSFET 8.At this point, SW terminal voltage increases to the voltage close to input voltage vin and corresponds to SW terminal and the end Vout The leakage current IDH of voltage difference between son flows in inductor 9, so that energy is supplied to output capacitor 10 and load circuit 11。
On the other hand, when in the period that high side MOSFET 8 is connected current signal Vtrip be greater than error signal COMP2 When, the signal RESET of High is input to the resetting terminal R of set-reset flip-floop 2.Correspondingly, when set-reset flip-floop 2 becomes Reset Status When, high-side driver 4 is closed via the first AND circuit 3, opens low side driver 20 via NOR circuit 19.
By by high side MOSFET 8 from state be switched to off state and by downside MOSFET 21 from cut-off shape State is switched on state, and regenerative current IDL is supplied to inductor 9 via its drain electrode from the source electrode of downside MOSFET 21.
In the electric current continuous operation that the regeneration of inductor 9 does not terminate in the oscillation period wherein determined in oscillator 1, It is once again set up set-reset flip-floop 2, downside MOSFET 21 ends, and high side MOSFET 8 is connected.
By repeating aforesaid operations sequence, buck chopper operation is executed.
The operation of the transformation of (Iout=Iskip_in) from steady load state to light load conditions is described below.
When exporting electric current Iout reduction, error amplification signal COMP1 and error signal COMP2 reduce, therefore high side The peak value of the leakage current IDH of MOSFET 8 is controlled to reduce.
In light load detection comparator 23, it is compared to each other error signal COMP2 and threshold value Vsk_Lo, and when error is believed When number COMP2 is equal to or less than threshold value Vsk_Lo, signal SKIP1 switches to High from Low.
Later, when output electric current Iout is further decreased and the valley point current of inductor current IL reaches 0, electricity is executed The discontinuous operation of stream.At this point, the polarity of SW terminal voltage is positive from negative switching.Zero cross detection circuit 22 is examined using comparator 221 It surveys the polarity switching of SW terminal voltage and sets setting state for set-reset flip-floop 222.Correspondingly, downside MOSFET 21 is logical It crosses NOR circuit 19 and low side driver 20 ends and indicates that the zero cross signal ZERO of the high level of zero passage detection state is input to Timer circuit 272.
In timer circuit 272, when signal SKIP1 and zero cross signal ZERO becomes High, set-reset flip-floop 2722 is passed through Setting state is become from AND circuit 2721 and switch 2723 is connected.Then, switch 2725 is disconnected via phase inverter 2724, because This capacitor 2726 is discharged by constant current Idis.
The voltage of capacitor 2726 is compared by comparator 2727 with threshold value Vtm_Lo, when the voltage of capacitor 2726 reaches When to threshold value Vtm_Lo, signal SKIP-OK is switched into High from Low and threshold value Vtm_Lo is switched into Vtm_Hi.Accordingly Ground, operation mode are switched to the mode for allowing intermittent oscillation to operate.
With the rising of the signal SKIP-OK exported from comparator 2727, the threshold value of light load detection comparator 23 is from threshold Value Vsk_Lo is switched to threshold value Vsk_Hi.
It is described below in the first control time (No_Load < < Iout < Iskip_in) of intermittent oscillation under light load Operation.
In the state that signal SKIP-OK is in High and allows intermittent oscillation control, when signal SKIP1 is in High When, the second AND circuit 273 is driven by the way that signal SKIP2 is switched to High via phase inverter 18, the first AND circuit 3 and high side Dynamic device semi-finals system ends high side MOSFET 8.
Later, when zero cross detection circuit 22 detects that the regeneration period of inductor 9 terminates and zero cross signal ZERO is from Low When switching to High, downside MOSFET 21 ends via NOR circuit 19 and low side driver 20, switch 25 and switch 26 via NAND circuit 24 disconnects.It being biased accordingly, due to stopping supplying to oscillator 1 and adjuster circuit 5, circuital current reduces, because This is able to achieve efficiency raising.
Later, (forbid high side MOSFET's 8 and downside MOSFET 21 when the switch operation in intermittent oscillation stops the period The period of conducting) in output capacitor 10 charge by export electric current Iout discharge when, output voltage Vout is slightly reduced. When the potential difference between feedback voltage FB and reference voltage Vref increases, error amplification signal COMP1 increases, therefore error is believed Number COMP2 also increases.
When error signal COMP2 reaches threshold value Vsk_Hi, signal SKIP1 passes through light load detection comparator 23 from High Low is switched to, signal SKIP2 also switches to Low from High, and threshold value Vsk_Hi switches to threshold value Vsk_Md.
At this point, signal BIAS_ON switches to High from Low, so that biasing is supplied to oscillator 1 and adjuster circuit 5, open Beginning circuit operation.In addition, the output of phase inverter 18 switches to High from Low, so that reset switch operates.
Later, when the leakage current IDH of high side MOSFET 8 and current signal Vtrip reach error signal COMP2, High Signal RESET be input to set-reset flip-floop 2 from PWM comparator 17, therefore high side MOSFET 8 ends.At this point, via the 3rd AND Signal RESET2 is supplied to single-shot trigger circuit 275 by circuit 274.
In single-shot trigger circuit 275, as illustrated in the timing diagram of Fig. 6, in response to signal RESET2, in predetermined period Interior, signal Ripple_ON switches to High from Low.It is connected accordingly, due to switch 276, constant current Irippe is supplied to mistake The reversed input terminal of poor amplifier 14, and feedback voltage FB moment increases.At this point, switch 2713 is connected, filter circuit 271 Time constant reduce, attenuation effect weaken.
When feedback voltage FB is increased rapidly, increase with the voltage difference of reference voltage Vref, error amplification signal COMP1 wink Between reduce, error signal COMP2 is correspondingly reduced.
When error signal COMP2 reduces and reaches threshold value Vsk_Md, light load detection comparator 23 is again by signal SKIP1 switches to High from Low, to stop the switch operation of high side MOSFET 8, and threshold value is switched to from Vsk_Md Vsk_Hi。
When signal Ripple_ON switches to Low from High after predetermined period process, switch 276 and switch 2713 are disconnected It opens.At this point, there are appearance overshoots (overshoot) in error amplification signal COMP1 and light load detection comparator 23 will be made A possibility that at wrong detection, but switch 2713 disconnects, therefore enhances the attenuation characteristic of filter circuit 271.Correspondingly, It can prevent from overshooting in error signal COMP2.
When the charge of output capacitor 10 is by output electric current Iout electric discharge, output voltage Vout is slightly reduced, error Signal COMP2 reaches threshold value Vsk_Hi, and signal SKIP1 switches to Low from High, and signal BIAS_ON switches to High from Low. Correspondingly, switch 25 is connected with switch 26, restarts the operation of oscillator 1 and adjuster circuit 5, to restart high side MOSFET 8 It is operated with the switch of downside MOSFET 21.
Intermittent oscillation operation is executed by repeating aforesaid operations sequence, output electric current Iout becomes lower, when intermittent oscillation Section becomes longer by control.Allow the period of the conducting of high side MOSFET 8 and downside MOSFET 21 in intermittent oscillation control In, ripple is temporarily superimposed upon on feedback voltage FB by the turn-on time end in high side MOSFET 8, error signal COMP2 It is reduced rapidly.It correspondingly, can be by the switch of every intermittent oscillation period by preventing high side MOSFET 8 from continuously performing switch operation Number of operations is suppressed to once.
Accordingly, because the amount for the energy accumulated in inductor 9 may be reduced, so intermittent oscillation frequency mistake can be prevented Degree reduce and prevent when ceramic capacitor be used as output capacitor 10 when generate ring sound and output voltage ripple it is excessive Increase.
It is described below in the second control time (No_Load < Iout < < Iskip_in) of intermittent oscillation under light load Operation.
By reaching at the time of threshold value Vsk_Hi and reset switch operate in error signal COMP2 by current signal Vtrip is compared with error signal COMP2, determines the peak point current IDH of high side MOSFET 8 in intermittent oscillation operation.Also It is to say, the peak point current IDH of high side MOSFET 8, which is based on threshold value Vsk_Hi, has fixed value.
Here, the switching frequency Fskip in intermittent oscillation operation is indicated by following formula, wherein L is the inductance of inductor 9.
Fskip={ 2 × Iout × Vout × (Vin-Vout) }/(L × IDH2×Vin)
In the switching power unit illustrated in Fig. 1, pass through the function control switch frequency Fskip of lower frequency limiter 28 Be not equal to or less than mankind's audio-band the upper limit (16kHz).
Lower frequency limiter 28 is and connection switch 281 in the period that driving signal HSon is in High to capacitor 282 chargings rapidly, and switched by being connected when driving signal HSon switches to Low and signal SKIP1 switches to High 283 and using constant current Iflim make capacitor 282 discharge.When the potential of capacitor 282 reaches reference voltage Vflim, than Output signal Flim compared with device 284 switches to Low, and the signal SKIP1b exported from AND circuit 285 switches to Low.Correspondingly, Signal SKIP2 switches to Low, forces reset switch operation.
It is operated by reset switch, supplies excessive power to inductor 9, and output voltage Vout slightly increases, still Being controlled by feedback control reduces error signal COMp2.It is high by comparing error signal COMP2 and current signal Vtrip The peak point current IDH of side MOSFET 8 is controlled as lower than the peak point current IDH in the first control time.Sequence is operated by this Column, or even when the output electric current Iout as illustrated in Fig. 7 reduces, can also be held with the switching frequency for being higher than the upper limit of audio-band It in the ranks has a rest vibrational control.
Finally, the operation for returning to steady load state (Iout >=Iskip_out) from light load conditions is described below.
Since the increase with output electric current Iout exports electricity in the cut-off period of switch element in intermittent oscillation control It presses the period of Vout reduction, the switch period in intermittent oscillation control shortens.Then, when operation mode is changed into inductor current When the valley point current of IL is equal to or more than the continuous mode of 0A, zero cross signal ZERO is fixed as Low, therefore at set-reset flip-floop 2722 In Reset Status.
Correspondingly, switch 2725 is connected, and switch 2723 disconnects, and the charging of capacitor 2726 starts.When capacitor 2726 When potential reaches threshold value Vtm_Hi, comparator 2727 is inverted, and signal SKIP-OK is switched to Low from High, by threshold value from Vtm_ Hi switches to Vsk_Lo, and light load operation returns to normal operating.
Fig. 8 is the figure of the first variation of the switching power unit illustrated in diagrammatic illustration 1.In addition to current signal Vtrip The off-centre circuit 31 of addition offset Voffset is arranged in the just defeated of the output terminal of current detection circuit 30 and PWM comparator 17 Other than entering between terminal, the switching power unit phase that is illustrated in the circuit structure and Fig. 1 of the switching power unit illustrated in Fig. 8 Together.The difference of the operation of the switching power unit illustrated in the operation of the switching power unit illustrated in Fig. 8 and Fig. 1 is to increase The third control of intermittent oscillation.
In the switching power unit illustrated in Fig. 1, PWM comparator 17 by by error signal COMP2 and be added partially The current signal Vtrip for moving Voffset compares and controls the conducting width of high side MOSFET 8.
In the second control, the conducting width of high side MOSFET 8 reaches the minimum determined by the propagation delay of circuit etc. Width is connected, the conducting width of high side MOSFET 8 can not be further decreased again, therefore output voltage Vout slightly increases.
In the switching power unit illustrated in fig. 8, inhibit under the output very small beyond light load state of electric current Iout The variation of output voltage Vout, to improve Load Regulation.
First control operation of the switching power unit illustrated in Fig. 8 and second controls the switch illustrated in operation and Fig. 1 Power supply device is identical, and description will not repeat.Now, the third that intermittent oscillation under light load is described referring to Fig. 9-11 is controlled into shape Operation in state (Iout ≈ No_Load).
In the second state of a control of intermittent oscillation, by the conducting for controlling high side MOSFET 8 according to output electric current Iout Width makes intermittent oscillation frequency become to be above the upper limit of audio-band, controls the peak point current IDH of high side MOSFET 8.? In two state of a controls, when the conducting width of high side MOSFET 8 reaches the minimum conducting width determined by the propagation delay of circuit etc. When spending, output voltage Vout slightly increases, and state of a control switches to the third control of intermittent oscillation.
In third control, feedback control is executed so that output voltage Vout is maintained at steady state value and error amplifier 14 Further decrease error amplification signal COMP1.It is become equal to when as error amplification signal COMP1 reduces error signal COMP2 Or when being less than offset Voffset, the signal RESET that PWM comparator 17 will enter into set-reset flip-floop 2 switches to High.Correspondingly, Set-reset flip-floop 2 is not at setting state, interferes the conducting of high side MOSFET 8.
Later, when error signal COMP2 is greater than offset Voffset, allow the setting of set-reset flip-floop 2 therefore high side MOSFET 8 is connected.By forbidding the OFF period of the conducting of high side MOSFET 8 using this Repetitive controller, even if close to without negative Also output voltage Vout constant (see Figure 11) is able to maintain in the beyond light load region of lotus.
In third control, as illustrated in Figure 10, switching frequency belongs to audio-band.However, due to high side MOSFET 8 peak point current IDH is suppressed low, so output ripple voltage is low.Correspondingly, the reciprocal piezoelectric effect of ceramic capacitor is slow With, and the sound that rings is suppressed to non-nuisance level.
Figure 12 is the figure of the second variation of the switching power unit illustrated in diagrammatic illustration 1.In addition to increasing beyond light load inspection Other than slowdown monitoring circuit 29, the switching power unit illustrated in Figure 12 has construction identical with the switching power unit illustrated in Fig. 1.

Beyond light load detection circuit 29 includes: beyond light load detection comparator 291, and wherein error signal COMP2 is input to Its positive input terminal, threshold voltage Vextremly_Lo are input to negative input terminal；And AND circuit 292, it is entered from ultralight The SET disable signal and the pulse signal SET generated from oscillator 1 that cutting load testing comparator 291 exports.AND circuit 292 it is defeated Signal is input to the setting terminal S of set-reset flip-floop 2 out.
The third of intermittent oscillation under light load in the switching power unit illustrated in Figure 12 is described below with reference to Figure 13 Operation in state of a control (Iout ≈ No_Load).
It is wide by the conducting for controlling high side MOSFET 8 according to output electric current Iout in the second control of intermittent oscillation Degree, so that intermittent oscillation frequency becomes to be above the upper limit of audio-band, and controls the peak point current IDH of high side MOSFET 8.
In the second state of a control, determined when the conducting width of high side MOSFET 8 reaches by the propagation delay of circuit etc. Minimum conducting width when, output voltage Vout slightly increases and state of a control is switched to the third of intermittent oscillation and controls.
At this point, executing feedback control so that output voltage Vout is maintained at steady state value, and error amplifier 14 is further Reduce error amplification signal COMP1.When the reduction error signal COMP2 with error amplification signal COMP1 becomes equal to or small When threshold voltage Vextremly_Lo, the output of beyond light load detection comparator 291 switches to Low, therefore passes through AND circuit 292 prevent set-reset flip-floop 2 to be switched to setting state.Correspondingly, the conducting of high side MOSFET 8 is forbidden to operate.
Later, when error signal COMP2 is greater than threshold voltage Vextremly_Lo, allow the setting of set-reset flip-floop 2, because This high side MOSFET 8 is connected.It is uncharged in beyond light load by utilizing this Repetitive controller OFF period, or even close, It is constant to be able to maintain output voltage Vout.
In third control, switching frequency belongs to audio-band.However, due to the peak point current IDH of high side MOSFET 8 It is suppressed low, output ripple voltage is low.Correspondingly, the reciprocal piezoelectric effect mitigation of ceramic capacitor and the sound that rings are suppressed to non- Nuisance level.
